There Ia no doubs, however, that that
vas big steal-one of the biggest. So
was tbs vacation of Rainier street. IL
was Just as plausible, too. as the vaoa-
ion of South Seventh street recently
ssked by the railroad company and
granted. Rainier street ran into Rail
road street, and q whole block upon it
lad been reserved fer q railroad STATEN
,ince the town was laid out. Il was to
Dc located near Ninth street. The rail-
.oad track as that time ran up to that
point, and 10 was always understood that
here the station would stand. No lots
we're sold in the reserved block, which
vas a sort OF triangle caused by Rainier
ltreet cutting 10 of. tried to buy
ZONE lots there myself, but was refused.
When the vacation was asked for depot
purposes it Was granted in perfect good
'aith. The triangular lots which were
owned by General Sprague and others
Eers extended 10 Railroad street and
made square. Time passed. bnt no
iepot vas built; in fact, the tracks we're
aiken up and the station plsced where

lold in the block, and nov they are
aFgsly occupied by buildings Of private
,wners."
